I'm not sure about you but I've become a lil skeptical... Not that it's a bad thing. In fact, I have quite an open mind. But when I read that "Gemini 4 Pro" is "Outdoing" *both* ; Opus 5.5 & GPT 6 Astra In "early benchmark tests" It raises my eyebrows a bit. Why? Well for one. Opus 5.5 is AMAZING . Astra I have less experience with but Sol 6.1 has been pretty awesome. And my experience with Gemini is... Mixed. On ONE side, it 'pretty good' for running code, 'read only' tasks... And the 'banana flash' models are pretty compelling for images. So I guess it depends on what you would use it for. Like, there's a difference if you just need images for a blog or substack post and needing help thinking through, building, or debugging a complicated software project. That said. I what I am NOT skeptical on is : the reported 3-D rendoring capabilities. Considering it's already proven it's image capabilities. 3D doesn't seem like that far of a stretch. But I guess what I'm trying to say here, is ; I feel that Claude and Codex are the industry standards. And I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Respect! 141 Rockstars are in for Part TWO of How to Get in the FU Position with Less Than $1000! I'm putting part deux together for you NOW! As a yummy appetizer... (Who doesn't like appetizers?) I'm laying out... 💥How I've duct-taped together cash flow businesses with no money - starting at age TEN! I was the oldest of 4 kids and helped my single momma put Hamburger Helper on the table. I still use this secret today! 💥Why too much money make ya stoopid! Much of my scrappy resourcefulness I owe to the School of Hard Knocks on the come-up. Most of my cash LOSSES were because I got STOOPID because I had too much money. 💥After I F'd up my finances, I bootstrapped a $3,000-a-month RECURRING biz by ASSEMBLING (NOT BUILDING) a micro-distribution network in 48 hours and then RENTING ACCESS. This was in the late 1990's. With AI in 2026, this is even simpler. 💥Think SELLING is the #1 skill? I don't. Why RENTING beats the crap out of SELLING if you want DEPENDABLE cash flow with LOW STRESS! (This is why AI Tools make PERFECT RENTAL PROPERTIES.) 💥I paid $1,000 to a very wise old timer who taught me one of the most valuable lessons I ever learned. DON'T SELL ONESY TWOESY. Sell ONE person and let them do ALL of the selling FOR YOU. NOW, combine that with my "renting" breakthrough. RENT to one person and let them RENT to dozens or hundreds of people. He showed me WHO. AFTER I started applying this, my website would get 30,000 visitors on an average day (I made millions)...and unless you know the late great Jim Straw...I bet you will NEVER GUESS "WHO" you should sell/rent to:-) 💥HOW ALL the ABOVE apply to getting into the FU Position with LESS Than $1k...with AI. 💥💥💥A surprise announcement that AFFECTS all AI Rockstars. Right now... 141 Rockstars are GUARANTEED to get Parts 2 - ??? (Not sure I can get it all in 2 parts.) If you chimed in on THIS POST...you're good to go!

(Part one) I love the concept of FU Money… But IMO… You don’t need a mountain of money to say “Fuck You.” What’s needed is the ABILITY to create cash flow from scratch in ANY economic condition… …without any ONE person’s (or company’s) permission. It’s actually NOT NEEEEDING money to prosper that puts someone in the FU Position. Money, like air, is everywhere. If someone can’t breathe well in an oxygenated environment… It’s not an oxygen problem. It’s a lung or breathing problem. Pumping them more oxygen won’t UNFUCK their situation. In the same way, NFL players, boxers, and lotto winners often end up in chapter 7 or 11 within a few years. It’s not the money that puts one in the FU position. It’s an ABILITY… That can’t be taxed, stolen, or lost in a divorce. 💥💥💥With AI, ABILITY and less than $1,000 bucks... If someone's living expenses are less than $10k a month... It's never been simpler to get in the "beautiful position of FUCK YOU!" To quote John Goodman from his scene in The Gambler: "Somebody wants you to do something, fuck you. Boss pisses you off, fuck you!" Now... The FU Position ABILITY...is NOT... How to BUILD AI...or vibe code...or automate... That is USEFUL... But it's not THE ability that will put a Rockstar in the FU Position. It's knowing how to SELL AI without needing a mountain of money to start. How to start on a SHOESTRING...in ANY economic environment. (Sometimes the worse the economy is doing, the better.) Now... I wanna know... 👉Is acquiring this ability something that lights YOU up? If there's enough interest? I'll come back with PART TWO. If not... No sweat... ✅Are you in? ❌Are you out? 👇👇👇

We've got 1400 peeps in Rockstars... Only 90 peeps showing interest in How to Get in the FU Position with Less than $1000...with AI Is it a dud topic? Or... Too many irons in the fire? ===>Take 2 secs and sound off here Or should I shit can part 2 due to lack of interest? The ball is in your court. Rooting For Ya, Travis

Everyone's telling you to build an audience first. What if that's the slowest possible way to do it? If you listened to most gurus' advice, you'd grind for YEARS — posting content, building lists, hoping someone shows up. As a guy whose last Facebook post was 4 months ago... that advice sounds like a special kind of torture. Which is why I was just telling Rockstar Phil about a 23-year-old named Connor. Connor doesn't build audiences. He finds them. He looks for influencers with engaged followers, studies what their people actually want, then builds a simple AI tool specifically for that crowd. One of his tools does $45k/month. Even if he gave the influencer the lion's share... That's still over $10k/month on ONE tool. And because it doesn't take too much to build these thanks to AI... He's doing this with SEVERAL tools right now. Here's what most people overlook though... Connor didn't invent anything new. He didn't have some genius original idea. He took EXISTING frameworks — stuff already proven to work — and built tools around them for audiences that already existed. And I'm not talking about building the next Instagram. It could be as simple as a calculator. Something you could put together in a weekend. You can't scroll Instagram for 30 seconds these days without stumbling on an influencer with a huge audience and NO IDEA how to monetize it these days. Tomorrow, I'll give you a quick rundown of how my 9-year-old daughter made THREE of these tools in an afternoon over the weekend. In this with ya, Jason
